    Solid AYCE hot pot! I've been here multiple times and always leave satisfied. They have a fine selection of soup bases, appetizers, and raw meats to order. Then a grab-and-go seafood, veggie and sauce bar. My go-to order is always the Original soup base, chicken karaage appetizer, with toro and ramen. You can walk-in or waitlist on yelp. The restaurant is big with a lot of seating. Weekdays are usually semi-busy while weekends are always packed with a wait time. Even on busy days we were able to find parking.

    Cool spot for AYCE hot pot! Checking in is easy, you can join the waitlist online or in person. Once you're notified, you're seated quickly. The server takes drink and broth orders and lets you know you've got 90 minutes to enjoy your meal. You can order two apps and six meats at a time, either through the tablet at the table or directly with your server. Choose your broth, and they'll bring it out and pour it into your pot. Veggies, noodles, and sauces are all self‑serve, and there's a huge selection. There's a sign about an upcharge for seafood, but we weren't charged. The gyozas were our favorite appetizer, and the spicy chicken was solid too. The only downside was the cleanup process. The staff clearing tables were slamming plates into bins, creating a lot of noise -- especially when they were right next to us. Definitely something they should improve.

    Whenever we want hot pot, this is our go to place! Place is clean and they have a good selection of veggies to choose from. Also like their sauce bar - it is simpler than other places but their sauces taste better! The beef toro meat is always our favorite and then we rotate between meats 1, 4 and 8! Soy glazed karaage and potstickers are a must!

    Filth!

    Food here is mediocre. Not too much to choose from on all fronts. For appetizers, only one type of chicken in 3 different flavors. No desserts. Sauce station was bare minimum. Meat selection was not great. Not sure how this place passes inspection. Imagine eating right under these nasty dirty conditions. See photos.

    Tonkotsu, Spicy miso, and Original House soup.  Beef toro, pork belly, Prime Flat Iron Steak.  Gyoza and soy glazed chicken karaage.

    I came to have dinner for a friend's belated birthday celebration. You will only get seated when all of your party is here and you can only sit for 90 minutes. This is an all you can eat place. I got the Original House broth. My stove gas took awhile to boil the soup for some reason as rest of my party had their pot all ready boiled. This happened to me at one other time when I came here and not sure why. Other than waiting longer than expected for my broth soup to boil in order to put ingredients in to cook, everything else was fine. Service was nice. I like the thin slices of meat to cook in the broth soup.

    Best shabu in the bay. My family and I are here at least 1x per month. Highly recommend

    10/10 experience. Shabuya is a go-to hot pot place for me. This was my boyfriend and I's first time at this location. We actually prefer this location! There's a good amount of places to park. This location is so much more spacious compared to their Concord one. We were greeted kindly after walking in and were seated immediately. Our server Barrett was on it! Our orders came promptly. There's a huge variety of sides to choose from and a make-your-own-sauce station. Meat quality was great! To note, they have a clean lavatory.

    I grew up coming to Shabuya (from when it first opened to now) and this place is still a staple for my family! Meat is cut fresh and the portion sizes for meat were perfect for us. It doesn't seem like a lot on the plate but it adds up! We were a party of 3 and I signed up on the waitlist on Yelp. I love that option since it's always super helpful. Our waiter was Reagan and he was great, he came to check on us often and was attentive and helpful. Food was great, selection is good and had the things I usually eat. For $29.99 this is not bad at all! I will be continuing to come back :)

    We love Shabuya, but we usually go to the one in Concord as it's conveniently located in a plaza/mall, but that location gets really busy and there's always a wait. This was our second time at this location and it was on a weekend so I decided to add us to the waitlist, and when we got there, there was no wait. It was a pretty busy day. It's spacious with ample refills throughout the day. The lighting a dim with natural sunlight during the days The soup and options always hit here and it's always bustling with full tables and bellies apparently. My son does not each much as a 9 year old but is tall enough for full price so it's not worth it for him, but we take him anyway because we love it so much. The service was good and the staff there seem to be more friendly than the Concord location. If you have a huge appetite, this is such a great place and the food is so comforting. I also appreciate the sauce bar. Since it's an AYCE, most people are in and out and some stay a while to get their money's worth. Either way, I highly recommend this for hot pot and looking to be a glut for the day. This place is an all around hit for my family and I can't wait to come back.

    price: $30 per person They have a wide variety of sides to choose from with seafood, quail eggs, veggies, noodles etc. The sauce polar was also plentiful as I enjoyed having ponzu sauce and the radish! the meat quality is pretty good and service was really quick on a Saturday night.

    Weekday lunch price 8/11/2026.  $22,99  The service was awesome!  Food arrive pretty fast.

    Shabuya is one of my favorite places to go for AYCE hotpot! It's always a fun time, and the servers are always a great vibe. Also super easy to join the waitlist, just do it through Yelp but make sure you're within distance! The location itself is pretty big with parking all around. The eating experience involves choosing your broth, meats (up to 8 per round!), and appetizers if you're interested. My boyfriend and I always get chicken and gyoza. You can then get your noodles, veggies, seafood, and sauces from the self serve area in the middle of the restaurant. Pretty easy to navigate, and everything is so yummy! My personal must-gets are the sukiyaki broth, pork belly, glass noodles, and lots of cabbage and mushrooms! Super filling and hearty! They also have fun soju cocktails if you're interested, definitely try out for a fun time!

    Hi there, you can find the price here: https://www.shabuyarestaurant.com/milpitas-online

    Do they sell their “Goma” dressing? Some restaurants sell their salad dressings so wondering if they sell “Goma” dressings ? If so what size and how much per container? Thx

    Hi, unfortunately, we don't sell our dressings at the moment.

    Their website says they open at 11:30am on Sunday but the e yelp page says 11:00am? Which is it?

    Hi, we open at 11:30 am on Sundays!

    I want to have a large party of 20 ppl for a Saturday around 2pm. Are there any reservations required?

    Hi there, please send an email to Reggie.guerrero@shabuyarestaurant.com and include tyour name, phone, email, date and time of reservation plus the number of people. Please make sure to also include the location you're wanting to place a reservation… 

    Do you guys have your own individual pot?

    Yes we do!

    Do you guys accept cash as payment?

    Hi there, yes we do!

    Is this hot pot only? No kbbq option as well? Trying to look that has both options

    Yes, hot pot only. No kbbq options.

    Do you offer free birthday person?

    Unfortunately, we do not have any promotions for birthdays, but would love to celebrate with you at Shabuya!

    Do you accept reservations?

    Yes, we do accept reservations via Yelp waitlist!

    Can we bring a birthday cake for party of five?

    Absolutely 😀 The Staff are super nice.

    How many ounces is each plate of meat for AYCE?

    The exact weight of each plate of meat isn't specified on their official menu. However, in shabu-shabu establishments, meat servings typically range from 4 to 8 ounces per plate. For precise information, it's best to contact Shabuya directly or… 

    I'm planning a 17th birthday here for a friend and I have a couple of questions to ask. Do they take cash or is it credit only? Do you need everyone there to join the waitlist, or can you put your name on the waitlist and the # of the people going?

    They accept both cash and credit. You can join the waitlist in advance but your whole party must be present to be seated.

    Do they do lunch prices on holidays?

    No, holidays are always dinner prices.

    Is there private room for group of 10? Or reservation for big group needed?

    I've never seen another special room at this restaurant just an open restaurant concept. They can set up the tables for a party of 10.

    Can they accommodate a large party of approx 60 guests for a lunch? How much for lunch on a Thursday? Does it include drinks?

    They look like they have the space for it. But I have asked and no reservation are taken. Maybe it's different for larger parties.

    Do you use meats that are hormone and antibiotic free?

    Can you confirm if the miso broth purely vegetarian?

    Miso contains fish and so it's not vegetarian. They do have vegetarian broth though!

    I have never been to this restaurant. What can one expect? Is the bar still open for seafood and salads? Is their a time limit? Are reservations needed for dinner on Tuesdays or Wednesdays? Is it unlimited proteins?

    I believe the self-serving bar is still open. Last time when I was there, which was about 1 month ago, they only allow one person per table to use the bar at any given time. I don't think they take reservations but the place is huge. You add your… 

    Are you open for lunch on New Year 01/01/2022 (tomorrow)? Thanks.

    What Covid-related accommodations are still being made, if any (e.g. open doors/windows, reduced capacity, closed buffet section, etc.)?

    I went on New Years Day 2022 and they still require masks, take your temperature before being seated, and require you to sanitize and put on disposable gloves before you help yourself at the buffet.

We didn't expect the Tom Yum broth to have such a strong coconut flavor. I didn't enjoy it. We mostly ate from the green rattan pepper broth, which was very spicy but pretty good! For sides, we got the lettuce, mentaiko fish balls, tofu skin, udon, enoki mushrooms, and Angus eye steak. I wouldn't get the lettuce again, since it gets too soggy in hot pot. I would opt for other vegetables instead. That said, one issue I had was that a fly flew into my sauce while we were eating. There were a couple of other flies flying around, likely because we were seated near the door. Since it was just my sauce, I was able to replace it, so I didn't mind too much but I'd avoid sitting near the door next time and hope they keep it closed. Overall, with so many hot pot places in the Bay Area, I'm not sure if this one will stand out especially with strong competition in Milpitas and San Jose. The quality is good, and the restaurant concept is cool. However its expensive compared to other places! I just hope they invest in better marketing, since we only discovered this place while heading to another restaurant in the same plaza. Their $17 lunch specials are pretty cheap so maybe I'd come back for a lunch special one day.
